THE 

EDITOE'S PREFACE. 

This work is not to be confounded with the original Manua] ^f 
Jahr. The present Repertory is a record of the observatioL 
Thich Jahr has been collecting for the last nine years, at the 

i-side of patients. It is therefore an eminently practical work, 
and its utihty is enhanced by the fact, that the various article* 
treated of in this Repertory are arranged in alphabetical order» 
and can, therefore, be consulted with the greatest ease. The 
reader will find, in reading Jahr's preface, that he gives the pre- 
ference to particular attenuations in the treatment of disease. 
The subject of doses has been subjected to a full and impartial 
:amination in the " Phahmacopceia and Posology,' a work 
which is now in press, and will soon be given to the public 
All those who take an interest in the doctrine of doses, are re- 
ferred to this work for more complete information.

THE 

AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 



The present work is intended to oifer tlie practitioner every tiling 
which it is necessary to know, in such a manner that, in whatever 
way the desired information may be sought to be obtained, the 
practitioner will be sure to find it. I have given both the symp- 
toms and the names of tlie diseases, and have not only given 
the pathogenetic indications with great completeness, from my 
own and other physicians' experience, but liave endeavoured to 
complete these indications by referring the reader to kindred 
articles, and in this way, giN'ing him an opportunity of studying 
the internal connection of the remedies, and their relation to the 
case for which they are recommend led. It is true that this 
method will frequently lead the reader from one a'/ticle to an- 
other through a long series ; but, since in nature all things are 
connected, I consider tliis circumstance an advantage ridher than 
a disadvantage, so much more, as I knovs^ by experience, that the 
speediest, safest and easiest vvay of obtaiiiing a full and correct 
insight into tlie nature of a particular case of disease, is- to study 
every thing which has a bearing upon it. 

As regards the names of diseases, I have adopted the nomen- 
clature of Peter Frank, vdth which physicians ai'e more fa- 
miliarly acquainted. In treating of fevers, epilepsies, hysteric 
affections, (fee, I have left Schcenlein s pathology out of consider- 
ation, for tliis reason, that liis system is not much respected by 
the pathologists of the old school, and is combated with a good 
deal of spirit by the professors of Berlin, Vienna and Prague. 

A* 



6 THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 

Afier all, pathological symptoms do not amount to much, pro- 
vided we prescribe in accordance with the totality of the symj>- 
toms ; for, by pursuing tliis course, we cannot fail to prescribe for 
the thing, even if the name be left out of consideration, and 
provided always that Schoenlein's classification of " uterine^ tes- 
ticular, thoracic and other kinds of epilepsy " be correct. There 
is one work, however, which I regret not having had an oppor- 
tunity of consulting previous to the publication of this Repertory ; 
it is Hebra's work on Cutaneous Diseases. Hebra's system com- 
bines practical advantages with great clearness and simplicity, 
whereas all other systems of cutaneous diseases are confused and 
without much practical value. Even as early as 1 840, when I 
first published my "Klinischen Anweisungen" in Freiich, 1 ap- 
plied myself to the study of the German, French and English 
systems of cutaneous diseases : but the more I advanced in my 
study, the more I became convinced that it would be impossible 
to offer an intelligible nomenclature of these diseases to German, 
French and English practitioners. My " RErERTORY of the 
Cutaneous Diseases " v/ill supply this deficiency as nearly aH 
possible. Tliis Repertory will contain a table exliibiting the chief 
names of all cutaneous diseases which have been adopted by our 
most distinguished pathologists, referring, moreover, to the sy- 
nonymes of these names in other systems, and the symptoms 
in our Materia Medica which characterize the different diseases. 
This table will bo as complete as possible, though it may not 
prove satisfactory to all. 

As regards the remedies which have been recommended for 
single symptoms as well as T\'}iole groups of symptoms, I have 
only named such as have proved themselves curative, cither in 
the pai'ticular case before us, or by removing, incidentally, the 
symptoms before us v*dien belongmg to a more extensive group. 
Remedies wliich have been proposed more or less speculatively, 
are marked with an interrogation-point (?). A great many new 
remedies have been added to those that are mentioned in my origi- 
nal Manual. These remedies have all been successfully tried in 
practice, and may, therefore, either be marked with a cipher (0), 



THE AUTHOR'S PREFACK 1 

or, in case they should already be mentioned in the Manual, 
with an asterisk (*). Those who consult Boenninghausen's Re- 
pertory, will likewise find many useful hints and remarks in this 
Pocket-Repertory, and a number of remedies that were not yet 
much used heretofore. As regards the classification of reme- 
dies in ISTos. 1,2, 8, 1 ought to state that, though this classification 
is essentially based upon experience and the relative importance 
of the remedies in the particular diseases for which they are 
indicated, yet the practitioner should never dispense with the 
trouble of comparing the symptoms of all the remedies men- 
tioned, since one of those arranged under I^os. 2 or 3, may be 
more specifically indicated than the remedies mentioned under 
No. I. This classification is not absolutely true, and it would 
be wrong to infer that, because a remedy is found under No. 2 
or 3, it cannot, therefore, be as useful as one of those mentioned 
\inder 1. This classification is merely intended to show that the 
remedies which are indicated in No. 1, are, generally speaking, 
those which are more frequently used in this particular case of 
disease, and that the practitioner, in order to save time, had 
better examine the remedies under No. 1 first, before he compares 
those mentioned under Nos. 2 or 3. 

It is needless to give any further rules relative to the use of 
this work. The diseases being alphabetically arranged, both in 
the index and tlie body of the work, all the practitioner has to 
do, is to look for the disease and then to study the paragraphs de- 
voted to it Beginners, however, will do well to first study the 
pystematic index following immediately after this preface, and 
more particularly in the article, ''General diseases,'' those subjects 
which are printed in italics. By this means they will become fa- 
miliar with the plan of the work, and will know how to use it in 
particular cases. This is the plan which I have always pm'sued 
in teaching. For those who have never studied our Materia 
Medica, I have added the characteristic symptoms of our prin- 
cipal medicines; I ought to say, however, that this work has 
especially been written fur those who possess my Symptomen- 
Codex, or some other kind of Materia Medica, which they may 



8 THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 

consult ill important cases. To those who study our Materia 
Medica with care and attention, the work will prove a valuable 
Mxde mecum, and an excellent introduction to the study of larger 
works. The characteristic symptoms of our principal medicines 
have been appended for the benefit of those who are not yet 
acquainted with our Materia Medica, and who are at a loss to 
know how to commence that study. These characteristic symp- 
toms will serve as central points round which the other and less 
important symptoms of the medicuies can easily be grouped. 

For the benefit of begimiers, I will subjoin the following re- 
marks on the selection of remedies according to sj^nptoms, and 
on tlie magnitude and repetition of doses. 

I know, from experience, tliat Hahnemann's rule, td select a 
remedy in accordance with the totality of the symptoms, is, in many 
cases, incorrectly apprehended by beginners, or by physicians 
who come over to our side from the aliceopatliic ranks. They do 
not always distinguish primary and secondary symptoms. This in- 
correctness is, in the first place, owing' to tlie fact tliat tlie old school 
considerably restricts the meaiung of the term " symptom ;'' and, in 
tlie second place, tothisotlier fact, tliut what is teclmicaliy termed 
'* taking a record," consist-^ sini|)ly in triking d(A\m the prominent 
symptoms without incluiling other c< institutional ailments, tiio 
treatment of which is postpoxiel until the principal difiiculty is 
removed. It is not supposed, for iii»tance, by beginners, thai piles 
and pneumonia, when occurrinij: in the snme patient, liave any 
connection v/ith each othci'. It i? on this accomit that I have 
nlways taught not only to consider the symptoms of the case, but 
also tjie symptoms of fh^ patient. And oven then I have not 
always been properly understood. Many symptoms, which our 
school considers as manifestatioM:5 of the general disease, vvere 
considered as independent di-easc.^^ hy the begimier, simply be- 
cause they had particular names in the old school works on 
pathology. I have, therefore, i^efrained ironi usmg the word 
symptom m my lectures to beginners, and have worded my fu i- 
damental rule of treatment as . follows : The proper selection of 
a remedy, in chroyiic and generally also in acute diseases, depends 



THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 9 

upon the following three points : "1. 2^he remedy must correspond 
to th''. pathognomonic sympto7ns of the case ; 2, to the accidental 
symptoms which do not seem to he a po^rt of the essential features 
of the disease ; and 8, to all other diseases and morbid pheno- 
mena, which we anight discover in the patient^ If a patient be 
afflicted with pneumonia, for instance, we should not only re- 
cord the essential symptoms of pneumonia, but also the symp- 
toms of any other affection of the eyes that might happen to co- 
exist with the uiflammation, such as : ectropion, pteiygion, ble- 
pharoptosis, diplopia, amblyopia, (fee, and, moreover, the general 
morbid phenomena of the organism, no matter whether the books 
speak of them as mere symptoms or as independent diseases. 
In all chronic diseases tliis mode of recording the symptoms 
should he strictly pursued ; and even in acute diseases the pro- 
per remedy will always be found to correspond to these three 
series of phenomena, though it need not be selected with par- 
ticular reference to the third series, proA^ded the disease does 
not rest upon a cln^onic foundation, and was occasioned by some 
exceptional cause. The accidental symptoms, however, that is, 
those symptoms which are not essentially pathognomonic, should 
be carefully noted in acute diseases, and the remedy should be 
selected with especial reference to these accidental symptoms. 
Some time ago I treated a man of 40 years for acute bronchitis. 
The remedies wdiich were indicated by the pathognomonic symp- 
toms, such as Acon,^ Bell., Bry., Dulc, Merc, had no effect. I then 
learned that the patient had a pain in the calf, as if bruiseJ, with 
tension on setting the foot on the ground. The patient cid not 
remember having ever hurt himself at that place. The spot 
looked reddish, green-yellow on the sides, and was painful to the 
touch. This led me to Conium 30, tln^ee globules in water. 
After the second dose the spot was less pamful, the fever di- 
minished, the cough looser, and the appetite improved.'-^ 

* The apparently accidental symptoms are frequently the more essential 
symptoms of the patient. He who knows how to distinguish them from the 
pathognomonic symptoms, will frequently be able to cure noma, dropsy, 
ingiiinal hernia, &c., with remedies which have never produced such dis- 
eases ; remedies which are individually essential to a cure, and such reme- 
dies do not always correspond to the pathognomonic symptoms. 



10 THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 

As regards ' he magnitude of doses, my rule is to give as lit- 
tle medicine' as possible. Nevertheless, in spite of the careful 
attention with which I have hitherto followed the discussions re- 
lative to that subject, I have not yet been able to decide whether 
the higher or the lower attenuations are the weaker or stronger 
dose^. I liave known one drop of the pure tincture to act for 
week':; precisely in the same manner as the SOth attenuation has 
been siippo ed to do ; I have seen violent effects from the 30th 
as well a^ from the 2 J or 3d ; and on the other hand, I have ef- 
fected speedy cures, without any previous aggravations, by means 
of the tincture, and the 1st, 2d or 3d attenuation, as well as with 
the SOth. I have observed similar effects from the 100th up to 
the 3 and 8,000th potency. In some cases 1 have effected a 
cure by a mere change of potencies, and sometimes an attenua- 
tion which seemed to do no good whatever, would effect a speedy 
cure when the same remedy was given after two or three other 
medicines. 

As regards the repetition of doses, it is my conviction, con- 
firmed by abundant experience, that an unnecessary repetition 
of the same remedy is productive of mischief, especially if the 
remedy was not indicated by the symptoms, or was continued 
after it had produced an incipient improvement. I have seen 
bad effects from spoonful doses of a solution of a few pellets, 
just as much as if the original dose had been repeated. We 
, know that from the fourth attenuation upwards, the medicines 
act rather dynamically than chemically, but what the real 
difference is between the first and thousandth attenuation, is as 
yet impossible to say. It is my belief that the attenuations, if 
carried up to a certain degree, act more speedily and more posi- 
tively than the lower preparations, and that a spoonful of a so- 
lution of a few pellets is a milder dose than a drop of an alco- 
holic attenuation ; but I am unable to offer any proofs in favour 
of my belief; what I know positively, is, that we do not yet know 
the limit how far the attenuating process can be carried without 
desti'oying the power of the medicine, and ihaty under proper 
circumstances, a pellet of the 8,000^/i potency acts as well as a 
pellet of the SOth or 2d. 



THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 11 

From this we may infer, that an unnecessary repetition of the 
dose might prove injurious to the patient ; that a frequent repe- 
tition of the dose is necessary in very acute diseases, such as 
cholera, or even in recent chancre ; that a single dose will fre- 
quently suffice in many slighter affections ; and that, in chronic 
diseases, a dose should be allowed to act a long time. This is 
probably owing to the fact, that in such diseases as steatomata^ 
polypi, chronic pulmonary and liver complaints, old wens, ulcers 
and herpes, the retro-formative process takes place very slowly, 
and that therefore a too frequent repetition of the dose produces 
an aggravation before the curative process has commenced. In 
all chronic diseases I never give more than one dose, of three or 
four pellets, and allow it to act a long time ; and even in acute 
diseases I never repeat the dose until the preceding one has ex- 
hausted its action. I, therefore, use a solution of from three to 
fiLx pellets of the 30th potency, in a tumblerful of water, ad- 
ministering it in teaspoonful doses every two, three or six hours. 
Sometimes I use a higher potency as bjing a weaker one, es- 
pecially if I want to ascertain whether I have hit the right 
remedy, for which purpose a small dose is just as effectual as a 
large one : for even the smallest dose of the pro^jer renieJy, if it 
do not effect an immediate cure, will at least uuiiie sl favourable 
impression upon the disease. If no such impression be manifest, 
I would rather resort to another remedy than to prescribe a lower 
attenuation of the same remedy. The begumer in homoeopathy 
fihould especially guard himself against prescribing for mere 
names of diseases, as is too much the case in the old school. This 
is the reason why I have given as many symptoms as possible, 
and why I invite the beginning practitioner not to content him- 
self with my own indications, but, moreover, to consult the Ma- 
teria Medica Pura in every case. The study of the Materia 
Medica Pura is indispensable to learn to distinguish medicinal 
eymptoms from the natural symptoms of the disease. This is 
especially important in chronic diseases where new symptoms 
frequently make their appearance, which may require a change 
of remedies, according as they are either^a medicinal aggravaU^nv

or a new development of the disease. The present work is 
therefore, not intended to supply the place of the Materia Medica 
Pura ; it is simply what the title indicates, a Pocket-Repertory 
to aid the memory of older practitioners, and to be a guide for 
beginners.

N. B.— The dassification of remedies which I have used in this Repertory, 
is the same as that which has been used in my Manual. The remedies un- 
der No. 1 are those that have acquired authority both from our provinga 
and from experience at the sick-bed ; the remedies under No. 2 are likewise 
authoritative, but not in the same absolute sense as those under No. 1. The 
remedies under No. 3 have only been confirmed by single caaas, or are 
simply indicated theoretically ; and the remedies marked with an interroga- 
tion-point (?), have never been used m practice, and are proposed upon 
a mere theoretical suggestion.

AMBLYOPIA, weakness or morbid alteration of sight ; weak- 
ness of sight, from mere dim-sightedness to complete blindness 
may arise from so many causes, and may be attended with so 
many different morbid states of the organism, that there is scarce- 
ly a remedy which is not of advantage in the treatment of this 
affection. I have, therefore, noted only the most efficacious 
remedies for amblyopia, furnishing particular indications to serve as 
points of support, and to facilitate the selection of remedies far 
particular cases. 

The principal remedies for amblyopia, are: 1) Aur. bell. calc. 
eaust. chin. cic. cin. dros. hyos. mere, natr-m. n-vom. phos. puis. 
rut. sep. sil. sulph. veratr. 2) Agar. cann. caps. con. croc. dig. 
iulc. euphr. guaj. kal. lack. lye. magn. natr. nitr-ac. op. plumb, 
rhtis. sec. spig. tart. zinc. 



' AMBLYOPIA. 3 

For amblyopia, simple loeakness of sight : 1) Anac. hell cole, 
eaps. cin. croc. hyos. lye. magn. puis. rut. sep. and sulph. 2

2) Agar. caps. cin. dig. euphr. guaj. kal. lach. lye. n-mosch.? 
plujnb. zinc. &c. 

For complete amaurosis, provided it is not incurable, the same 
remedies should be used as for amhlyopia amaurotica, the reme- 
dy depending not so much upon the (^e^?-ee of weakness, as npon 
the totality of the symptoms. Unless secondary symptoms 
should require other remedies, we may use : Bellad. calc. mere, 
phosph. Sep. sulph. &c , though any other remedy may be used 
if indicated by the general symptoms. 

For erethic amaurosis, principally : Bell. calc. cic. eon. hyos. 
mere, nitr-ac. op. phos. sep. sulph. &c.

following remedies will generally answer : Ant. bell. bry. n- 
Tom. 

For recent arthritic metastases^ the following are very use- 
ful : Aeon. hell, n-vom.. sassap. sulph. — In most cases the affected 
organs should be considered ; w^e refer the reader to the para- 
graf)hs on : headache, ophthalmia, gastric derangement, where

ARSENIC— ASTHMA. 19 

ARSENIC, POISONING BY. -The antidotes are : 1) Soav- 
water ; 2) Albumen, dissolved in water and used as a drink : 3) 
Siivar-water ; 4) Milk; 5) Sesquioxyde of iron. Vinegar is 
useless ; oil is hurtfid. 

After the first alarming symptoms have been removed, we ^ive 
Ipec. After Ipec. we give China, especially when the patient 
is irritable, has a restless sleep and nightly febrile motions ; or 
Nux nom. when the patient is worse io the daytime, particularly 
after sleeping, with constipation, or else with diarrhoeic, slimy 
stools ; or Veratrimi, if after Ipec. frequent nausea remains, with 
vomiting and heat, or chilliness over the whole body, and great 
debility

ATROPHY OF THE SPINAL MARROW (Marasmus.

The following remedies are probably the most useful: \) N- 
vom.sulph 2) Cole, carb-veg. caust. coccul. natr-m. phosph. 
phos-ac. 3) Chin.? staph. ? 

I have treated 21 cases of this disease arising {rom onanism, 
accompanied with hypochondria, despondency, aversion to hfe, 
&c. The characteristic formication in the back was present in 
every case ; I gave in every case a dose of Nuxvom. 30, allow- 
ing it to act from 2 to 3 weeks, and then Sulphur^ 30, allowing 
it to act from 4 to 5 weeks. If unpleasant symptoms remain, I 
resort to Cole, carb-veg. caust. phos-ac. 

China and Stapkys. may prove useful in some cases. 

For atrophy with paralysis of the lower extremities, the best 
remedies are: Nux-v. sulph. nux-v, canst, nux-v. carb-veg. cocc. 
phos. rhus-tox., if given in this order and at long intervals. Con- 
stant change of remedies is exceedingly hurtful in this disease.

any thing in particular ; but, if asked, he complains of hurning 
pains in the stomach and throat, with cramps in the calves and 
other muscles, and utters loud cries when one touches the pit of the

fall out below, with aggravation during motion ; pod-shaped pro- 
trusion of the colon, with abatement of the pains on bending 
double or making pressure; or clutchms; pains in the abdomen, 
or spasmodic constriction in the abdomen with burning and 
pressure in the small of the back, and over the pubis ; especially 
when the following symptoms are present : Thin, purulent 
stools, or congestion of blood to the head, with redness of the 
face, swelling of the veins of the head, and such violent pains 
that the patient becomes delirious. (After Bell., Merc, is some- 
times suitable.)

chills and tearing in the lower limbs ; also for great anguish, 
tossing about on account of the pain ; no stool, or else diarrhoea 
and vomiting of bile, which recommences after the patient takes 
ever so little food ; the pains are relieved by coffee. (It is sup- 
posed by some, but doubted by many and by myself, Hempel, 
that coffee should be given alternately with colocynth, to control 
the aggravation produced by the colocynth ; this aggravation is 
a natural development of the disease, not an aggravation ; after 
Colocynth, give Causticum for the remaining symptoms.) 

Nux VOMICA : Obstinate constipation, or hard stool ; pressure 
in the abdomen as from a stone, with rumbling and sensation

a.nd fulness in the pit of the stomach and hypochondria, or with 
pressure towards the abdominal ring; blue margins around th» 



68 COLIC, ENTERALGIA, <fec. 

eyes ; alternate redness and paleness of the face ; the pains appear 
at night, or in the morning at sunrise, or after a meal. (Puis. 
is frequently suitable after Cham.) 

China: Tympanitic distention of the abdomen, with fulness,

CONDITIONS OF AGGRAVATION, or Amelioration 

OF THE SYMPTOMS. 

§1. There are practitioners who select a remedy princi- 
pally with reference to the external conditions of the symp- 
toms, such as : the time of day when they appear, the side of 
the body, head, chest, &c., where they appear, &c. This is evi- 
dently going too far, though it cannot be denied, that these ex- 
ternal conditions have a general value in many cases, and facili- 
tate the selection of a remedy, provided the practitioner is other- 
wise thoroughly acquainted with the essential points of our 
Materia Medica. To select a remedy with reference to these ex- 
ternal conditions exclusively, might prove of great detriment to 
the patient.

tion, sex, (^c, is, of course, imperfect, and many remedies 
which have been omitted in the various paragraphs, may have 
to be supplied after a little more observation. Nevertheless, an 
intelligent physician will find the attempted classification of ser- 
vice, were it only to confirm the selection of a remedy, or to de- 
cide him in favour of one remedy among several doubtful ones.

CROUP, Angina membranacea. 

§ 1. The best remedies are : Aeon, spong. and hep., in water, 
a tablespoonful every hour or half hour. 

AcoNiTUM : During the inflammatory period, should be con- 
tinued as long as the following symptoms are present : Great ner- 
vous and vascular excitement, burning heat with thirst, dry and 
short cough, short and hurried, but not yet wheezing or sawing 
respiration. 

« Spongia: The above symptoms are less, but the characteristic 
symptoms of croup remain or these symptoms exist from the com- 
mencement, with rough, crowing, and barking cough, or dry 
cough, with difficult expectoration of scanty mucus ; slow, loud, 
wheezing and sawing breathing, or suffocative fts with inability 
to breathe, except with the head bent backwards. 

Hepar : The cough has become less after the use of Spongia, 



96 CROUP— CYSTITIS. 

but the air-passages remain clogged with mucus ; or the croup 
symptoms are attended with rattling of mucus from the com- 
mencement, the cough is moist, with little difEculty of breathing 
and slight nervous or vascular excitement. 

§ 2. For the rough and barking cough which sometimes sets 
in a few days previous to the attack of croup, give : Cham. chin, 
cin. dros. hyos. n-voiii. veratr. 

For croup with paralytic state of the lungs, give : Tart.

For laryngitis, hoarseness and catarrhal affections remaining 
after croup, give: 1) Hep. phos.; or, 2) Arn.^ hell, carb-v. 
dros. 

For the disposition to croup : Lye. or Phosphorus has been re- 
commended. 

CYANOSIS. — Digit, is said to have cured this disease. — 
Lachesis has been recommended. It is incurable when depend- 
ing upon an organic affection of the heart. 

For syniplomatic cyanosis, not depending upon an organic af- 
fection (as in cholera, &c.,) I recommend: 1) Aeon, camph.

distended and painful to contact, especially in the region of the 
bladder. 

Digitalis: The neck of the bladder is principally affected, with 
retention of urine and constrictive pain in the bladder, or frequent 
and painful urging to urinate, with discharge of a few drops of 
dark-red and turbid urine. 

Dulcamara: For chronic affections of the bladder, constant 
urging to urinate, painful pressing-down in the region of the blad^

Pulsatilla : The urging to urinate is attended by aching, 
burning and cutting pains in the region of the bladder ; heat and 
redness of this region, and sometimes complete suppression of 
urine ; or scanty, painful discharge of slimy urine, or of bloody 
urine, with purulent sediment. 

Sulphur : In obstinate cases, the urine is mixed with mucous 
or biood, burning in the urethra dmnng micturition. (After 
Sulph., Calc. is frequently suitable, especially when the disease is 
caused by suppression of haemorrhoids ; if the burning pains do 
not yield to Calc, give Ars. or Carbo-veg.)

See : Arthritis, Suppuration, Tumor, Dropsy, Scrophula, 

GONORRHCEA. 

§ 1. For inflammatory gonorrhoea the best remedy is Canna- 
bis 30, 3 pellets, only one dose, allovving it to act about a 
week. This is better than the tincture, and wiM produce a favour-

the inflammatory symptoms have been subdued, give Merc, or 
s?ilph., either alone or alternately ; Merc, for a greenish and puru- 
lent, Sulph. for a whitish, serous, and painless discharge. 

Cantharides are indicated by violent inflammation, suppres- 
sion of urine, priapism, painful erections, &c. ; or Petrosel., when 
the ischuria does neither yield to Merc, nor sulph. 

Aeon., in water, is sometimes excellent for violent pains. 

§ 3. The best remedies for secondary gonorrhoea, especially 
when it had been mismanaged with large doses of Copaiza or 
Cubebs, are Sulph. and Merc; or: Caps. f err. natr-m. nitr-ac.

§ 5. The following remedies have likewise been recom- 
mended : Agn. con. cop. cub. dulc. hep. led. lye. merc-c. mez. 
petr. sabin. selen. — Agnus is suitable when the sexual instinct 
has become extinct or greatly diminished, and when there is a 
whitish serous gleet, without pain.

viness, pulsative pains and pressure over the eyes ; pain in the 
eyes, v/henever the patient endeavours to look at a thing. 

Silicea: The heat causes nausea or other gastric ailments, for 
which Ant. and Bry. are insufficient.

pains in the abdomen as from hot coal, extreme sensitiveness to 
contact, nausea, hitter, bilious vomiting, anguish and cold sweat ; 
ill most cases relief is obtained by one dose, which may be followed 
by a second dose in one hour ; but if no relief sets in after the 
thi]d dose, ^ive Sulphur. (Pee below ) 

Nux voM. : The swelling is less painful or sensitive to coniact, 
and the vomiting is less violent, but there is great difficulty of 
breathing ; the incarceration is caused by a cold, exposure to heat, 
by a fit of anger or by chagrin, or also by irregular living, &c. 
(May be repeated every two hours.) 

Opium: If no relief is obtained after the second dose of Nux, 
or if the following symptoms occur from the commencement : 
Red face ; distended, hard abdomen, putrid eructations or vomit- 
ing of faecal matter. (Repeat every fifteen minutes until re- 
lieved.) 

If the vomiting should be attended by cold sweat and coldness 
of the extremities, Veratr. deserves a preference ; and if no im- 
provement takes place alter the second dose, give Bell. 

Sulphur : If Aconite remains without effect, or if the bilious 
Tomiting should change to sour. If, after giving the Sulphur, 
the patient should go to sleep, do not disturb him for some hours 
at least.

For swelling or induration of the liver: 1) Ars. calc. chin, 
n-vow. sulph ; or, 2) Caps, graph, lye. magn-m. mere, natr-m. 
n-mosck. puis. 

For abscesses : Lach. or *S¥Z. ; or : Brll. ? mere. ? hep. ?

with rwpia, the primitive form of ecthyma he'mg pustulous, that 
of rupia vesicular ; the ecthyma-pustiiles, at their base, are more 
inflamed, harder and more firmly seated, than in rupia. (See: 
Rupia, Rhypia.) 

However, rupia and ecthyma being closely related to each other, 
externally at least, the same remedies will probably do for either 
eruption. Ecthyma seems to require more particularly : Ars. 
mere. rhus. sulph. ; or. Borax, cham. staph.

at a distance, and to continue this proceeding until chills set in, 
after which the application of heat is to be renewed three or four 
times a day, until the wound is healed without leaving a cica-

At the same time the patient is to take a dose of Bell, or Lack., 
as often as the wound becomes worse, or a dose of HydropJiohin, 
and this treatment is to be continued until the wound is perfect- 
ly healed. 

If, after the lapse of seven or eight days, a little vesicle should 
show itself under the tongue, accompanied with febrile motions, 
it should be opened with a pointed knife, and the mouth should 
be rinsed with salt-water.

196 ITCH. 

ITCH, SCABIES. 

§ 1. Principal remedies : 1) Merc, and sulph. ; 2) Carh-^eg. 
caust. clem. hep. lach. lye. rhus. sep. veratr. ; or : Dulc. natr. phos- 
ac. squill. 

§ 2, For dri/ itch, give 3ferc. and Sulph. alternately eveiy 4, 
6 or 8 days, until an improvement takes place, or the symptoms 
change ; these new symptoms generally indicate : Carh-veg. or 
Hep., provided it is the dry itch, or Causticmn, if a few pustules 
should have supervened. The symptoms which remain after 
Carh-veg. or Hcp.^ frequently yield to Sep. or Veratr. 

§ 3. For pustulous itch give first Sulph. and Lye. alternately 
as above. If the itch should become drier, give Carh-veg. or Merc. 
Give Caust. once a day, if Sulph. or Lye. remain without effect. 
If Caust. should not produce a change in 2 or 3 days, give a dose 
of Mercury every 48 hours. 

If ulcers should form, give Clem, or Rhus-t. ; if the pustules 
should change to large vesicles of a yellowish or bluish colour, 
give Lach. 

§ 4. Itch mismanaged by Sulphur-oiiitment, requires Merc, or 
Caust. ; or : Calc. dulc. nitr-ac.puls. selen. sep. — If mismanaged by 
the Sulphur and Mercurial-oi7itme7it, give : Chin, and Caust. al- 
ternately, and then the above-mentioned remedies. 

The so-called baker's itch requires: 1) Sidph. lye ; or: 2) Calc. 
dulc. rhus. and graph. 

§ 5. Other eruptions are easily confounded with the itch. 
Impetigo, eczema, d^c, exactly resembling the itch, may be grad- 
ually developed by uncleanliness, vermin ; and the only difference 
between these eruptions and the itch is, that the acarus, this only 
true pathognomonic characteristic of the itch, is wanting in the 
former. 

For acarous itch, Sulph. is undoubtedly the principal specific, 
though it seems by no means impossible that Caust. mere, <fec., 
might cause such an alteration in the cutaneous exhalations as 
would lead to the destruction of the acarus, which I regard as the 
cause, not the effect, of the itch. I know of a young man who 
contracted^ an eruption in consequence of having slept in an un- 
clean bed on a journey, and who removed it by a wash of tobacco- 
juice and vinegar. 

This acarous itch admits of a mere external treatment, with the 
Sulphur-ointment, without exposing the patient to the danger of 
contracting secondary diseases. Of course I do not wish to be 
imderstood as if I would sanction the treaimsnt, by external ap- 



ITCH— ITCHmO OF THE SKIN. 191 

plications, of the various itch-like eruptions where the acarus is 
not present. These are the eruptions to wliich Hahnemann's pso- 
ra-doctrine should be applied, and the suppression of which, by 
salves and washes, will induce the various secondary affections 
enumerated by Hahnemann and Autenrieth. 

The proper way, therefore, would be to distinguish, 1) Scabies 
acarosa, wliich can be treated externally without danger, provided 
the acarus is the cause, not the effect of the disease ; 2) Scabies 
impetiglnosa^ eczematica, <fec., dynamic diseases reqmi'ing a 
pui'ely internal treatment. 

As regards symptoms, I recommend for eruptions seated in the 
folds of joints, and especially on the hands and between the fin- 
gers, if characterized by itching : 

a) Generally: 1) Sulph. 2) Carb-veg. caust. mere, selen, sep. 
sulph. 3) Ant. ars. lax;h. veratr. 4) Coloc. dulc. cupr. Jcreos. mang. 
phos-ac. squill, tart. zinc. 

b) For eruptions readily bleeding : 1) 3ferc. 2) Cede. didc. sulph. 

c) Dry and rashdike eruptions : 1) Carb-veg. mere. sep. sil. 
sulph. 2) Calc. caust, cupr. dulc. led. veratr. 

d) Humid eruptions: 1) Carb-veg. graph, lye. sulph. 2) Caust. 
clem, kreos. sep. staph. 

e) Pustulous eruptions : 1) Caiist. kreos. mere. sep. sulph. 2) Ant. 
squill. 

§ 6. See Eruptions and Herpes.* 

ITCHmG- OF THE AN^JS.— Aconite is an excellent remedy, 
especially if the skin be inflamed ; we may likewise try : Merc, 
nitri-ac. sepia, sulph. thuja., and : Baryt. calc. zinc, at long inter- 
vals. See : Herpes, Itching of the skin. Hemorrhoids, Worm- 
affections. 

rrCHma of the SKm, pruritus, prurigo simplex. . 

§ 1. This itching may depend upon a variety of causes, of 
which the principal are : 1) a simple irritation of the skin, by 
sweat, &c. 2) A so-called humour characterized by a very fine 
vesicular eruption. 

§ 2. For simj)le itching, in tlie evening wlule undressing, or 
after having got warm in bed or by exercise, give : 1) Bry. n-vom. 
op. puis. rhus. sil. sulph. 2) CoccuL oleand. 

* An excellent means of removing inveterate itch, is the hydropathic 
treatment. I know of a case that had b^en treated horaoeopathicaliy for a 
whole yeaiv here and in Europe, without the least success, and finally yielded 
completely to hydropathic treatment (at Brattleborough) in the short space of 
five weeks. Hemvel.

LICE-MALADY, Phthiriasis. 

§ 1. For hce on the head and other parts of the body, the 
best remedy is cleardiness and regular habits. If hce should 
have formed, use : 

For lice on the head : Frequent washing with vinegar, mixed 
with part of a solution of one spoonful of tobacco-juice in a tum- 
blerful of water, or snuff in the place of the juice. If the scalp 
should not be sound, or if the cliildren are very small, it is best 
to use the vinegar without tobacco-juice. The same mode of 
washing should be adopted for hce on other parts of the body. 

Tobacco-juice is hkewise the best remedy for lice of the sexual 
organs, ei.her in the shape of a wash of equal parts of tobacco- 
juice and vinegar, or of an ointment made of snuff and lard. If 
the use of tobacco should induce unpleasant symptoms, diarrhcea, 
vomiting, &c., Puis, will remove them very speedily.

should not prevent suppuration, Hep., v/hich sometimes opens 
the abscess in a few hours. 

Inflammations of the tendinous sheaths and synovial mem- 
branes first require Sulph. , then Silic, if no change should take 
place in 24 hours.

In a case of acute inflammation of an old indurated ovary, 
which had been treated with salves, &c., by the best old school 
physicians, a dose of Con. 30, in water, a teaspoonful every 
three hours, was sufficient to remove not only the imminent 
danger, but the inflammatioa- itself, so that, in eight days, the 
patient was able to walk several miles without inconvenience. 
It is now seven years since this case occurred, and the patient 
has remained well so far ; the induration, however, never dis- 
appeared. 

Dr. Hering saw good effects from Lach., and then Plat., \\\ 
a case ofindaration and suppuration of an ovary.

disappearance of the swelling, stupor and delirium, requires Bell., 
or Hyoscyam. if Bell, should not be sufficient. 

In case Mercury should have been abused previously, or in 
case it should not be sufficient, or the swelling should commence 
to harden, with hectic fever, &c. Carbo-veg. is indicated. This 
remedy is generally indicated when the patient is very hoarse, 
and there is a metastasis to the stomach. 

If Carbo-veg. should not be sufficient for the hectic fever, Coc- 
cuius will be found to be of great service. 

In obstinate cases, consider: 1) Kal. rkus. 2) Ainm. aur, calc.

that the same remedies may perhaps be employed for either. 

We have no written evidence of the treatment of this disease,; 
nevertheless, the remedies which have been recommended by 
Hahnemann, for phagedenic blisters, or the so-called Fressbla-

§54 PNEUMONIA. 

If weakness of the cliest, oppression and coupon should remain 
after Bry., give Pho-sph. or Sulph. ; or Chin. lack. lye. sil. 

§ 3. If hepatization should already exist before the horn, phy- 
sician is called, Acoii. and Bry. may still be of great use : but the 
principal remedy is Sulph., a few pellets in a tumblerful of 
water, a tablespoonful evei*y 3 hours. 

Lach. lye. phosph. are likewise very useful at times, even after 
Sulph. (Jahr proposes to give only one dose, and to allow it to 
act for weeks ! Hcmpel ) 

§ 4. For astheuie pneumonia (pneumonia notha) as vvfc see it 
ill old people, with danger of paralysis of the lungs, ^the principal 
remedy is likewise Aeon. ; after which, if another paroxysm 
should set in, Mercury should be given. 

Bell, should be given after Merc.^ if a spasmodic constriction of 
the chest, with dry hacking cough should remain ; or CJiam., if 
the breathing continue wheezing. (After Cham, n- vein, is fre- 
quently suitable.) 

If no change should take place after Merc , give Ipec. espe- 
cially if the breathing he anxious and hurried ; or Verair., if the 
extremities be cold, with constriction of the chest and great anx- 
iety ; or Ars., if the patient sink more and more, with suffocative 
paroxysms. 

§ 5. Typhoid pneumonia first requires O;;., then sometimes^ 
Am. 

If no change should occur after these two remedies, give Ve- 
ratr.f or Ars., if the debility and rattling increase. 

Bry. and Rhus-t. ; Ipec. and Ars., or Vcrair. and Ars. alter- 
imtely, are likewise useful. 

If the improvement should not continue, give Sulph. and 
then again one of the former remedies which seemed to be most 
beneficial. 

Bed-sores, especially if gangrenous, require Chi7i. and Ars. 

For obscuration of sight give Bell ; and if the strength shouM 
continue to fail, Natrum-m. is sometimes useful. 

^ 6. If symptoms of incipient phthisis should set in after pneu- 
monia, or if the inflammation should threaten to become chronic^ 
and if the existence of tubercles should have to be suspected, give 
1) Sulphur; or: 2) Amrn. lach. lye. phosph.; or. 3) Ars. aur. calc^

POISON, ADIPIC— This dreadful poison sometimes deve- 
lops itself in badiy kept sausages or c^Jier pork. According to 
Hering, a beverage composed of equal portions of vinegar and 
water, to be taken in large quantities, is the best antidote. It 
may likewise be employed as a wash or gargle. 

Instead of vinegar lemon -juice may be employed ; and, if the 
patient should desire, these acids may be used alternately with 
sugar, black coffee, or fresh black tea. 

If the dryness of the throat should continue after using these 
remedies^ and if even slimy injections should not procure an eva- 



256 POISONS. 

cuation from the bowels, give Bry., and continue it as long as- the 
symptoms continue to be unfavourable. 

The aihuents which remain after Bry., sometimes yield to 
Phos-ac. ; and, if paralysis or consumpion should set in, give 
Ars. or Kreos. 

POISONING, TOXICATION. 

§ 1. We refer the reader to Dr. Hering^s treatise on " Poisons,^^ 
from which the principal items contained in this work about poi- 
sons and their antidotes have been borrowed. 

§ 2. In treating a case of poisoning, two thin^fs are required t- 

1) Removal of the exciting cause ; diwd., 2) Treaimcnt of the 
disease occasioned by the poisoning. 

This treatment is to be conducted in every case agreeably to 
the principles of the New School. 

The removal of the poisonous substances should be effected by 
the simplest and most innocent method, either with the finger, or. 
if this should be impossible, as in the case of poisons that had been 
swallowed, we recommend the following means suggested by 
Hahnemann and Her in g : 

1) Excite vomiting or stool by the simplest means, copious ad- 
ministration of tepid water, irritating the fauces by means of a 
feather or something-similar ; placing on the tongue a pinch of 
salt, snuff, or mustard ; or, if neither of these means should be 
sufficient, resort to injections of tobacco- smoke. 

2) Neutralize the poison by means of: The white of an egg, 
vinegar, or lemon-juice, coffee, camphor, milk, oil, soap, mucila- 
ginous drinks, tea, wine, sugar ; or, in some cases: ammoniacal 
gas, iron-rust, charcoal, kitchen-salt, epsom-salt, sweet-almond 
oil, spiritus nitr., dulc, potash, boiled starch, &lc. 

§ 3. Particular indications : 

White of an egg, dissolv^ed in a sufficient quantity of vrater, 
and used as a drink, especially for : Metallic substances, such as, 
quicksilver, corrosive sublimate, verdigris, tin, lead, and sulphuric 
acid ; when the patient complains of violent pains in the stomach 
or abdomen, with tenesmus, or diarrhoea and pains at the anus. 

Vinegar: Antidotes poisoning with alkaline substances ; but 
is hurtful in cases of poisoning with mineral acids, corrosive vege- 
table substances. Arsenic, and a large quantity of salts. In many* 
cases it removes the ill effects of Aconite, Opium, narcotic sub- 
stances, poisonous mushrooms, belladonna, carbonic-acid gas,. 
hepar sulpliuris, poisonous muscles amd fish, and even oi adi'pic 
acid. The vinegar may be drank or administered by the rec- 
tum, alternately with mucilaginous substances. The vinegar 
should be as pure as possible. Crab- vinegar is, of itself, poisonous. 

Coffee : Strong black coffee, the beans being little roastecU 



POISONS. 257 

and drank as hot as possible. Indispensable for a large number 
of poisons, especially when causing drowsiness, intoMcatiov, loss 
of consciousness, or mental derangement, delirium., (fee, in ge- 
neral, antidoting narcotic substances, such as : Opium, nux-vom., 
belladonna, narcotic muslirooms, poisonous smnach, hitter al- 
monds, prussic acid 3.ud all those substances containing it, Bell., 
colocynth, valer., cicuta and cham. In case of poisoning with 
Antimony, Phosphor, and Phosphoric acid, coffee is no less in- 
dispensable. 

Camphof. : Principal antidote of all vegetable substances, espe- 
cially such as have a corrosive effect, or when vomiting and di- 
arrhoea, pale face, cold extremities and loss of consciousness are 
present. Camphor is a specific remedy for the ill effects of poison- 
ing insects, especially cantharides, whether administered inter- 
nally or externally. Likewise for the effects of so-called worm- 
medicines, tobacco, bitter almonds, and other fruits containing 
prussic acid. It is likewise useful for the secondary affections 
remaining after poisoning with acids, salts, metals, phosphorus, 
poisonous mushrooms, cfcc, after ine poisonous substance itself 
had been removed from the stomach by means of vomiting, &c. 

Milk: Less useful than is supposed. To procure an artificial 
covering or envelop for the poison, mucilaginous substances are 
to be preferred. Fat wAlk (or cream) \s suitable in. all cases 
v/here oil is, and hurtful where oil is. Curdled or sour milk is 
suitable or not suitable in all cases where vinegar is or is not. 

Olive OIL : Less useful than is believed. It is of no use in 
cases of metallic poisoning, and even hurtful in cases of poison- 
ing with Arsenic. It is very bad for the ill effects of Canthar. 
This remark applies to poisoning with any other insect, or if the 
poison should have got into one's eye. Oil maybe used to facili- 
tate the extraction of insects - from the ear in case they should 
have got into it. Oil is most suitable for poisoning with corrosive 
acids, such as: nitric acid, sulphuric acid, &c. \i is sometimes 
useful in cases of poisoning with alkalies, to be administered al- 
ternately with vinegar, and in cases of poisoning with mushrooms. 

Mucilaginous substances, drinks, or injections of mucilagin- 
ous substances, should be resorted to in cases of poisoning with 
alkalies, especially when administered alternately with vinegar. 

Soap, common castile soap, dissolved in four times its bulk of hot 
water and drunk, is one of the best remedies in many cases of 
poisoning. It may be drank by the cupful, — a cupful every two, 
three, or four minutes, in ail cases where the white of an egg is 
indicated but does not produce sufficient relief. Soap is particu- 
larly useful in all cases of poisoning wiUi metallic substances, 
especially Arsenic, lead^ &:c. Likewise for poisoning with cor- 
rosive acids, such as : Sulphu^^ic acid, nitric acid, &;c., with 



258 POISONS. 

alurn, corrosive vegetable substances, castor oil, &c. Soap is 
hurtful in cases of poisoning with alkalies, such as : Ijye, nitrate 
of silver, 'potash, soda, oleum tartari, aminonium muriaticiun, 
(Sahniac) ammonium carbonicum, caustic or burnt lime, barytes, 
&c. 

Sugar, or sugar-water, one of the best remedies in many cases. 
In case of poisoning with mineral acids or alkalies, it is best to 
resort at once to the specific antidote, though sugar is not hurt- 
ful. In cases of poisoning with metallic substances, various kinds 
of paint, verdigris, copper, sulphate of copper, alum, &c., sugar 
is preferable to every other remedy, and not till the patient has 
been relieved by the sugar, administer the white of an egg orsoap- 
water alternately with sugar. Sugar is likewise an excellent an- 
tidote in cases of poison lug with arsenic or corrosive vegetable 
substances. 

§4. Of the other antidotes, use: 

Ammomacal gas : For alcohol, bitter almonds, prussic acid. 

Iron-rust: Y or Arsenic. 

Efsom -salts: For alkaline poisons. 

Charcoal : For foul fish, foul meat, poisonous WAishrooms, 
poisoning muscles, &lc. 

Kitchen-salt: For nitrate of silver 'd.\\(l poisonous wounds. 

Magnesia: For acids. 

Sweet-almond oil: For acids. 

Potash: For acids. 

Starch : For iodine. 

Spirits of nitre : For alkaline poisons and animal sub- 
stances. 

Tea: For adipic acid -and poisonous Itoneij. 

Wine : For noxious vapours and yoisonous mushrooms. 

§ 5. The first thing we have to do, in treating a case of poi- 
soning, is to remove the poison by vomiting, and then to adminis- 
ter suitable autidotes. 

If we should not be able to ascertain what kind of poison had 
been swallowed, we should first administer the white of an egg ; 
and, if there should be stupefaction, coffee. 

If we should know that the poison is : 

a) A metallic substance, we have to give: first the white of 
an egg, sugar-water, soap-water, and afterwards, for the re- 
maining ailirents: Sulph., which is a real antidote to metals. 

b) If acids and corrosive substances, give: 1) Soap-ioater; 
2) Magnesia dissolved in water ; 3) Chalk-ivater ; 4) Alkalies 
or potash dissolved in water, taking a tablespoonful as long as 
the Tomitiiig continues. Afterwards in.ucilap;inous drinks, and 
alternately Coff. and Op. as homceopathic autidotes. 



POISONS. 259 

As regards the remaining ailments, give Puis, for sulphuric 
acid ; Bry. for muriatic acid ; Aeon, for the other acids, and 
especially crab-apple vinegar. If the skin should have been cor- 
roded by poisons, apply soap-water, or a watery solution oiCaust.; 
and if corrosive substances should have got into the eyes, apply 
sweet almond-oil, or fresh unsalt -butter. 

c) For alkaline substances : 1) Vinegar and water in large 
quantities ; 2) Lemon-juice, or acids from other fruits, diluted with 
much water : 3) Sour 7mlk ; 4) Mucilaginous drinks, or injec- 
tions. Vinegar is hurtful in cases of poisoning with Barytes ; 
but epsom-salt dissolved in water, renders good service ; after- 
wards, Camph. or Nitr. sjrir. The secondary effects of poison- 
ing with potash, require: Caff, or Carb-v.; and those of poisoning 
w^ith spirits of Ammonia, Hep. 

d) For the inhalation of noxious vapours : Sprinkle the patient 
with vinegar and water, or let him inhale the vapours of a solu- 
tion of chlore ; afterwards, after the return of consciousness, give 
black coffee, or a few doses of Op. or Bell. 

(See : Vapours.) 

e) For vegetable poisons : 1) Camplior, by olfaction, or some- 
times a drop of the spirits of camphor on sugar; 2) Black coffee 
or vinegar, especially for narcotic vegetable juices. The best 
antidotes for corrosive vegetable juices, are soap- water and 
milk. 

f ) For animal poisons : See the single poisons, such as: Can- 
iharides, adipic poison, stings of insects, fish-poison^ poisonous 
honey, &c. — For toad-poison, or similar poisons, if they should 
have got iuto the stomach, give powdered charcoal, stirred up 
with oil or milk ; or let the patient smell of the sweet spirits of ni- 
tre, if bad symptoms should set in, and afterward give Ars. — If 
a poison of this kind should have got into the eye, give Aeon. 

§ 6. As regards the wounds or bites inflicted by poisonous 
animals, Hering proposes the following mode of treatment: For 
the bites of poisonous serpents, mad dogs, or other poisonous ani- 
mals, apply heat at a distance, for which purpose any thing 
maj^ be used which is handy at the time : a red-hot iron, incan- 
descent piece of coal, or even a burning cigar ; hold this as near 
as possible without burning the skin. The heat should be kept 
up uniformly, and should be concentrated upon the wound exclu- - 
sively. The edges of the wound should be covered over with oil 
OT fat, and this should be repeated as often as the skin gets dry. 
If no oil or fat can be had, use soap, or even saliva. Wipe off 
carefully every thing which is discharged from the wound. Con- 
tinue the application of heat until the patient feels chilly and 
stretches himself; if this should take place too speedily, continue. - 



260 POLYPI. 

to apply the heat for about an hour, or until the effects of the poi- 
son commence to disappear. 

§ 7. At the same time administer internal remedies. In the 
case of a serpent's bite, give the patient a swallow of salt-water 
from time to time, or a pinch of salt or powder, or a few pieces 
of garlic. 

If, nevertheless, dangerous symptoms should set in, give a 
tablespoonful of wine or brandy every 2 or 3 minutes ; continue 
this until the symptoms abate, and repeat the brandy at every re- 
turn of a paroxysm. 

If the stitching pains should increase in violence, and be felt 
nearer the heart ; if the wound, at the same time, should be 
bluish, checkered like marble and swollen, with vomiting, ver- 
tigo and diarrhoea, give Ars. 30, and another dose in halt' an hour, 
if the symptoms should coutinue to get worse, or only in 3 hours, 
if they should remain uncliauged ; if an improvement should set 
in after the first dose, do not repeat the medicine until the symp- 
toms get worse again. 

If Ars., even if repeated, should have no effect, give Bell. 
In some cases Senes^a may be tried. The chronic sequeloB of the 
bite of a serpent require : Phos-ac. and Merc. 

§ 8. If the bite should have been inflicted by a mad doG;, apply 
heat at a distance as above, and for the remaining treatiiient see : 
Hydrophobia. 

If the bite should proceed from a man or animal which is not 
msid, hut furious, gWQ Hydro pJwhin ; which is recommended by 
Hering. 

§ 9. Wounds v/nich have become poisonous in consequence 
of decayed animal matter or pus having got into them, require 
Ars. 

To guard against unpleasant consequences in case we should 
have to touch decayed animal substances, poisonous v/ounds or 
ulcers, or men and animals infected with contagious diseases, we 
should hold our hands for ten or fifteen minutes near as strong a 
heat as can be borne, and afterwards wash them with soap. The 
use of Chlore in such cases is well known.

RUPIA. 273 

RUPIA s. RHYPIA. 

§ 1. Names have caused an immense confusion in the de- 
partment of cutaneous diseases. Samuel Plumbe, SchcEnlein 
and others, confound rupia and ecthyma; Hehra applies the 
name rnpia only to syphilitic herpes with pyramidal crusts ; Bate- 
man, who distinguishes R. simplex and R. proem.inens, mider- 
stands by it an eruption very similar to ecthyma with which other 
authors have either confounded rupia, or who, in its higher forms, 
have classed it with the corroding and spreading ulcers. Accord- 
ing to Bateman, the primitive form of rupia is vesicular, never 
pustulous, as that of ecthyma, though it is very difficult to dis- 
tinguish these eruptions from each other, when more developed, 
except perhaps by the fact that the crusts of rupia are broader 
and less firmly adhering than those of ecthyma. Hehra^s rupia 
is the syphilitic form with conical scurfs, and is the same as Bate- 
man^ s rupia proeminens ; whereas Bateman^ s rupia simplex is 
identical with the so-called phagedenic blister of Hahnemann 
and a kind of phagedenic ulcers of older writers. 

§ 2. According to these distinctions, we propose for rupia, or 
rupia (Schoenlem), one or more of the following remedies, or 
of those which have been indicated for ecthyma. 

b) For rupia simplex (Bateman), (the ulcus phagedenicum of 
some authors, or the -bulla phagedenica of Hahnemann : 1) Ars. 
cham. graph, petr. sil. 2) Borax, calc. clem. hep. natr. nitr-ac. 
rhus. Sep. squill, staph. 

c) For the rupia of Hehra (rupia syphilitica or rupia proemi- 
nens of Bateman) Mercurius. This is not always sufficient ; in 
one case I had to give : Alum, nitr-ac. clem. thuj. sassap., then 
Sulph., and lastly another dose of Merc, which effected a per- 
manent and thorough cure. 

§ 3. See : Herpes, Ulcers, Herpes, pustulosus, and Sy- 
philis. 

RUBEOL^E. — This disease is intermediate between scarlatina 
and measles, the symptoms of the mucous membranes being like 
those of scarlatina and the eruption itself resembling measles. 

The principal remedies are: Aeon. bell, n-vom. puis.

SCARLATINA. 275 

Gangrenous sove throat: 1) Aimn. ars, carh-v. ; or, 2) Lach. 
or sulph. 

The vomiting requires Aeon, or Ars., if Bell, should not stop 
it ; for the tenesinns and the ischuria give Con., and for the 
pulmonary spasms Ipse., provided Bell is insufficient. 

The sleeplessness frequently yields to Aeon, or Coff. 

§ 3. For retrocession of the eruption, the best remedies are: 
Bry. pJias. pJws-ac. sulph. — If cerebral symptoms vi^ith coma 
should have set in, give Op. ; or, Bell, if the patient should start 
as soon as he closes his eyes.

ture, with chilis and deadly paleness of the face, w^hich was red 
previously. 

Carbo veg. : The paroxysms set in after sleeping, after rising 
in the morning, or while yet in bed. 

Chamomilla : The paroxysm is accompanied with vertigo, dark- 
ness of sight, hard hearing, sensation of qualmishness and flatness 
in the pit of the stomach, &c. 

CoFFRA : Suitable to sensitive persons, and if the symptoms

out by mental labour or addicted to the nse of spirits ; and ge- 
nerally, when nausea, pale face, scintillations before the eyes, or 



316 SYPHILIS AND SYCOSIS. 

obscuration of sight, pains in the stomach, anguish, trembling and 
congestion of blood to the head or chest are present. 

PiiosFHORi ACID. : The paroxysms set in after a meal, I^ux-v. 
being insufficient. 

Veratrum : The paroxysms set in after the least motion, or 
are preceded by great anguish or despondency ; or attended by 
spasms, lock-jaw, convulsive motion of the eves and eyelids, 
&c. 

SYPHILIS AND SYCOSIS. 

The principal remedy is Mercurius 3, a dose every day or every 
other day. After eight or ten days, (or even after iw& or three 
days,) red tips, being healthy granulations, can be perceived at 
the bottom of the ulcer, which continue to increase. During 
this time the ulcer sometimes bleeds and the edges become 
depressed. 

After the syphilitic character of the ulcer, that is, its lardace- 
ous appearance, has disappeared, and the cicatrix should not 
form properly, or proud flesh should start up from the ulcer, 
Nitr-ac. can be given with excellent effect. 

NiTRic-AC. is likewise excellent for chancres that had been in- 
efTectually treated witii large doses of Mercury. It should not 
be given when the chancres heal of themselves, without Mer- 
cury. 

§ 3. Every chancre w^hich is not treated, or improperly treat- 
ed with Mercury, becomes chronic after the lapse of from six to 
eight weeks, losing its lardaceous appearance and raised edges, 
and exhibiting a red surface with a hard bottom, and secreting a 
thin, bad pus. Nitr-ac. should not be given for such chancres, 
for it favours the breaking out of general syphilis, the symptoms 
of which are roseola on the abdomen, and pimples on the forehead 
and region of the stomach. The principal remedy is Mercurius, 
which should be continued, giving one dose every forty-eight 
hours until the chancre and the spots and pimples have disap- 
peared. Should doubtful symptoms develop themselves after the 
disappearance of the chancre, and should their true nature, 
whether mercurial or syphilitic, not be apparent, give: Aur. carh- 
v. lach. nitr-ac. phos-ac. thuj. 

§ 4. Secondary chancres in the throat require the same treat- 
ment as the primitive chancre ; sometimes a few doses of Thuja 
may be given, if the patient should have taken much Mer- 
cury. 

Buboes require Mercurius, the same as the chancre ; but if the 
patient should have been drugged with large doses of Calomel, 
give Nitr-ac, or sometimes Aurum or Carb-veg. 



TASTE, ALTERATIONS OF 317 

§ 5, Constitutional syphilis requires Mercury ; or, il the pa- 
tient should have been drugged with it : Alum, bell carb-7)eg. 
clem. dulc. guaj. hep. jod. lyc.phos-ac. sassap. staph. 

Syphilitic hone-pains require: Aur. mere, lack.; — spots and 
herpes : Merc. lack, nitr-ac. thuj. ; — syphilitic ophthalmia : Merc 
or Nitr-ac. * 

TASTE, ALTERATIONS OF. 

§ 1. Changes of taste are mere symptoms, which, however, 
point to the following remedies : 1) Aeon. ant. am. ars. hell. hry. 
cham. chin, coccul. ipec. 7nerc. n-vom. puis. rhus. 2) Bry. caps, 
carb-veg. hep. kal. natr. nat-m. n-vom. petr. phosph. rhah. sahin. 
Sep. squill, staph, siilph. tart, veratr. 3) Asa. asar. calc. cupr. 
ign. lach. lye. inagn-m. siL stann. sulph-ac. tar ax. 

§ 2. Use more particularly : 

a) For bitter taste : 1) Aeon. am. ars. hry. calc. cham. chin, 
mere. natr. natr-m. n-vom. puis, sabad. sep. sulph. veratr. 2) 
Amm. carb-an. carb-veg. coloc. con. dros. ferr. ipec. kal. lach. lye. 
magn-m sil. spong. staph, tart. 

b) Taste as of blood : 1) Ipec. sil. zinc. 2) Alum. amm. ferr.

c) Empyreumatic : Cycl. puis. ran. squill, sulph. 

d) As of pus : Merc. natr. puis. 

e) Clayey : Cann. chin. ferr. hep. ign. phosph. puis, stann. 

f ) Flat: watery i insipid : 1) Bry. chin. ign. natr-m. puis-

natr. petr. phosph. phos-ac. rhab. rhus. ruta. stann. sulph.

puis. rhus. sulph. 2) Bell. hry. carb-veg. cham. con. natr-m. n-

" The specific remedy for syphilitic diseases is undoubtedly Mercuroji 
the lower triturations of which are generally used. The red precipitate acts 
more intensely than the Merc. sol. Hahnem.^ and Mueller reports a case 
where both these preparations failed, and Cinnaharis effected a cure. Cin- 
iiabarig is hkewise effectual in gonorrhoea, even in cases where the other 
mercurial preparations fail. Goullon of Weimar recommends Merc. corr. for 
chancres, one half of a grain, 1st trit., with eight 6unces of pure water and 
half an ounce of spirits of wine, a tablespoonful morning and evening (dimi . 
nishing the quantity when vomiting followed the first dose or two.) He re- 
commends baths of Merc, corrosiv. for syphilitic eruptions, scrofula, &:c. ex- 
cept when much Mercury had been used previously, in which G?iS,e Acid, 
nitr. is recommended. In sore throat Lye, in ostitis and exostitis Sil..) and 
in tetters and herpetic sores Sassapar. (ptisan) proved the most serviceable. 
Attomyr recommends the following remedies for chancre : Merc, sol., mere, 
dulc. merc-corr. acid. nitr. thuj. hep. corollia rubra, acid-phosph. sulph. causU 
staph., He cured a case of syphilitic orchitis with Clematis and a case of 
mismanaged condylomata on the anus with Staphysagria. Mezereum should 
not be forgotten in the treatment of nodes. A great many homoeopathic 
physicians in this city, use strong injections of nitrate of silver for the cure 
ofgonorrhoea, Hempel.

TOBACCO, ILL EFFECTS OF. 319 

1) Tinea granulata, the real dry scaldhead, r esemhVmg favus, 
except that the lips are arched, not depressed m the shape of a 
goblet. 

2) Tinea mucifiua, huraid scaldhead, gronpa of pustules, with 
copious secretion of moisture." which, on drying, causes the hairs 
to stick together and cover.-s the head like a layer. 

3) Tineafavosa, s. favus, a sort of fungous growth, in the 
shape of small pustules depressed at their tips. 

4) Tinea annulata, circular groups of yellowish pustules, 
through whose centre a hair passes ; with destruction of the fol- 
licles. 

5) Tinea amiantacea, or eczema of the hairy scalp, generally 
affecting old people. 

It might perhaps be desirable that we should finally succeed in 
prescribing certaui remedies for certain forms of tinea, though I 
(Jahr) think that the constitutional symptoms of the patient are 
better indications for the selection of a remedy than the form of 
the eruption.

TYPHUS. 

§ 1. Under this head we arrange all fevers with typhoid symp- 
toms, such as : typhus gastricus, stupidus, versatitis, putridus, 
&c. ; and even pn en mo-typhus, for this is, after all, typhus aifect- 
ing most particularly the lungs. Pneumonia may assume a 
typhoid character in consequence of excessive bleeding, but this 
would not be true pneumo-typhus, and the characteristic disorga- 
nization of the blood, as well as the regularity of the stages which 
we observe in true typhus, are wanting in such apparently typhoid 
diseases. 

In true typhus, whether putridus, petechialis, &c., Bry. and 
Rhus-t. are the principal remedies ; if, however, neitfeer of these 
remedies should be indicated by the symptoms, we may resort 
to: — 

§ 2 The following remedies: 1) Bell. hry. hyos, lach. mere. 
n~vom. phos-ac. rhus. strain, sulph. 2) Aeon. am. ars. camph.

symptoms, require : Aeon. am. ars. bell. hry. chin. cocc. hyos. 
laeh. lye. mere, mur-ac. natr-m. phos-ac.rhus. stram. sulph. 

True typhus reqiures, as was said above : 1) Bry. or Rhus-t. ; 
or. if these should be insufficient: Ars. laeh. mere, mur-ac. phos- 
ac. sulph-ac. ; or one of the remedies mentioned in ^ 2. 

We may furthermore select: 

a) Fov typhus versatilis : Aeon. hell. bry. cham. hyos. lye 
mur-ac. natr-m. n-vom. rhus. stram. 

b) Typhus stupidus : Am. ars. hell. bry. chin. cocc. hyos. lack,

e) Typhus abdominalis, putridus : 1) Rhus-t. ; or, Bry.; or, 
2) Ars. chin. mere. ; or, 3) Am. carb-veg. n-moseh. puis, sulph. 
4) Canth. mosch. 

§ 5. In the precursory stage, Bry. or Rhus-t. will some- 
times cut the disease short. 

The inflammatory stage requires: 1) Bry.; or, 2) Aeon, 
hell, chain, hyos. lye. n-vorn. stram. 

The .stage of debility requires: 1) Rhus.; or, 2) Ars. carb- 
veg. chin. mere, mur-ae. ; or, 3) Am. laeh. n- mosch. phos-ac. 
sulph. — Carbo-veg. particularly will sometimes bring about a fa- 
vourable change, even if life seems almost extinct. 

During the stage of convalescence, if the patient should be 
very weak, give: 1) Cocc. chin, veratr. ; or, 2) N-vom. sulph.

§ 1. Ulcers, without an exception, depend upon a particular 
tlyscrasia of the organism, and cannot be radically healed except 
by means of remedies which are capable of eradicating the dys- 
crasia, of which the ulcer is a mere symptom. Nevertheless, the 
character, configuration or other peculiarities of ulcers, should not 
be left out of consideration in selecting a remed}^ These exter-

or before midnight, with red neck, pain in the throat when swal- 
lowing, lachrymation ; or stitcheJ in the head, pains in the chest 
and throat, or when an eruption breaks out on the head or ab- 
domen. 

Dulcamara : Moist cough from the commencement, with easy 
expectoration and hoarseness, and when the cough was brought 
on by taking cold. 

Ipecacuanha : The cough is accompanied by great anguish, 
suffocative symptoms and bluish face ; N'ux v. being insufficient. 

Nux voM. : Dry cough from midnight till morning, ^with vomit- 
ing, anguish, suffocation, bluish face, bleeding from the mouth and 
Rose. 

Pulsatilla: Moist cough from the first, with vomiting of 
mucus or of the ingest a, or mucous diarrhoea. 

§ 3. In the spasmodic period, with vomiting and bleeding 
from nose and mouth, the best remedies are : 1) Cin. cupr. dros. 
vcratr. ; or : 2. Bell. mere. 

Cina: During the paroxysm the children suddenly become 
rigid, and the paroxysm is followed by a gurgling noise from 
the throat to the abdomen. This remedy is a specific, when 
the cliildren are affected ^Wth the usual worm-symptoms, such 
as : Cutting in the bowel-, itcliing of the anus, desire to rub one's 
nose or to bore with the finger in it. — Merc, is likewise suitable 
for these symptoms. 

CuPELTki: The body becomes rigid during the paroxysm, 
with arrest of breathing and loss of consciousness; vomiting 
after the paroxysms, and rattling of mucus in the chest betweeii 
the paroxysms. (After Cupr., Vcratr. is frequently suitable.) 

Droseea: Excessive violence of the paroxysms, wheezing 
cough ; no fever, or else : high fever with chills and heat, thirst 
only after the cliills, the sweat is rather hot than cool, and 
sometimes sets in only at night; aggravation during rest, re- 
lief from motion. JJrosera is generally the best remedy for 
fully developed whooping-cough, with vomiting of food or 
mucus, and bleeding from the mouth and nose. (After Bros.^ 
Veratr. is some tunes suitable.) 

Veratrum : Dros. and Cupr. being insufficient, or sometimes 
before these medicines have been given, especially when the 
children are very feeble, with a sort of hectic fever, cold sweat, 
especially on the forehead ; smaU, hurried and feeble pulse ; 
great thirst; or the coughing causes an involuntary emission 
of urine, and pain in the chest and loins ; between the parox- 



WHOOPING-COUGH. 855 

ysms the patients are in a comatose state, and care not either to 
move or converse ; excessive weakness of the neck, so that the 
cliildren are scarcely able to keep their head erect; attended 
with rash over the whole body, or only in the face and on 
the hands. 

§ 4. The convulsive form of whooping-cough is not always 
fully developed, and it frequently happens that, at a period 
when the whooping-cough is epidemic, children are seized with 
a spasmodic cough which is without a great many of the charac- 
teristic symptoms of whooping-cough The best remedies for 
such a cough are : Bell, hry.jod. mere, sulph. tart. 

Belladonna : Cerebral irritation, or the cough is preceded 
by a painful sensation in the region of the stomach, with 
bleeding of the nose and mouth, or ecchymoses in the eye ; 
or when other spasmodic symptoms, such as : tetanus, convul- 
sive asthma, <fec. are present; or when the paroxysms termi- 
nate in sneezing. 

Bryonia : The paroxysms set in principally in the evening or 
at night, or after eating or drinking, with loss of breath, want of 
air, and vomiting of the ingesta. 

JoDiUM : The cough is excited by tickling in the bronclii, with 
undulating inspirations during the paroxysms, which are preceded 
by great anguish, attended with great exliaustion, emaciation. 

Lactuca : Violent cough, with vomiting after every paroxysm, 
but without any other characteristic symptoms. 

Mercurius : Cough only at night or only in the day-time, two 
paroxysms succeeding each other closely, and separated from the 
next two paroxysms by a longer interval of repose ; or suitable for 
the real whoo'ping-cov gh, when the cliildi'en, during the vomiting, 
bleed profusely from nose and mouth, with profuse sweat at night 
and great nervousness ; especially when the cliildren are affected 
with worms and are liable to convulsions. (The last mentioned 
symptoms sometimes require Carh. veg. after Merc.) 

Sulphur : The paroxysms are accompanied with vomiting, 
and do not yield to any of the above-mentioned remedies. 

Tartarus : The vomiting is accompanied by diarrhoea, with 
great prostration, or the children vomit up their supper in the 
first hours after midnight. 

§ 6. If the convulsive period have run its course, and 
catarrhal symptoms remain, use: Ar7i. carh-veg. dulc. he'p. 
puis. 

Arnica: The children weep much after cougliing, or the 
paroxysms are preceded by screams and crying, or they are 
caused by these screams. 



366 WORM-AFFECTIONS. 

CARBO VEG. : The catarrhal cough frequently becomes 
spasmodic, or the vomiting keeps up though the other symptoms 
of whooping-cough have disappeared. 

Dulcamara : The catarrhal cough is accompanied by profuse 
expectoration of mucus. 

Hepar : The cough abates, but is hacking, dry and rough, 
with desu'e to vomit after the paroxysms, and frequent weeping. 

Pulsatilla: Moist cough, with easy expectoration of serous 
mucus. 

§ 6. Although we have distinguished whooping-cough into 
stages, yet it must not be supposed that the remedies which 
have been respectively indicated for the different stages, cannot 
be used for any other ; on the contrary, many of the remedies 
wliich we have mentioned for the spasmodic stage, may, in 
many cases, be required in tlie precursory stage, and vice versa. 
Let it be remembered, that the selection of a remedy does not 
depend upon the name of the disease, but upon the symptoms, 
the pathological character of the disease , and the state of the 
patient.

Kali nitr., acetates and carbonates of the same substance ; according to Jahr, 
the symptoms produced by those preparations belong to the base. This 
seems even to be true in regard to the mercurial preparations, though 
this observation does not apply to basic preparations, such as Cinnabaris, 
hepar sulph., for these manifest different properties from those of their 
constituent elements. Jahr's remarks should be taken cum ^rano salis. —

their sj-mptoms and effects upon the various organs and functions of

cure, and a glossary of the technics used in the work, arranged .«o 
luminously as to form an admirable guide to every medical student.
